coLinux (Cooperative Linux) - Candiate for QTR on Windows?

2004-04-14 by Daniel Staver

I came across this project yesterday:
http://www.colinux.org/

"Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for
optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally,
Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel
that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system
on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on
Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software
such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any
general purpose PC virtualization software. In its current condition, it
allows us to run the KNOPPIX Japanese Edition on Windows (see
Screenshots)."

I wonder if it would be possible to somehow bundle this with a
preconfigured QTR/Linux distribution so all you would have to do is
intall it and have everything work.

When I have some spare time I'll look into it.

Roy: You mentioned that you were considering a port of QTR to Windows.
How's that going? Did you find out whether it's even possible?
